These activities may include, but are not limited to, improving our Services or Products; offering new products or services; performing quality control activities; and conducting data and/or image and video analysis which may lead to and/or include commercialization with a third-party.

"Research" means scientific research that CellScope performs alone or in conjunction with third-party contractors with the intent to publish in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Research uses only Image Data and Self-Reported Information from Users who have consented as “consent” is defined in the applicable Consent Document. Research activities do not include R&D.

“Product” or “Products” means all equipment, hardware or devices that are manufactured or delivered or provided by CellScope; this includes but is not limited to the CellScope “Oto” modular otoscope, and any successor or subsequent version or model of any CellScope equipment, hardware or devices.

“Third Party Service or Services” may or may not involve consulting or medical services provided by a physician or other healthcare provider, using Internet or telemedicine or other electronic communication.

"Personal Information" is information that can be used to identify User, either alone or in combination with other information. CellScope collects and stores the following types of Personal Information:

"Aggregated Data" means a collection of data from some or all CellScope users, including, but not limited to, Image Data and Self-Reported Information (CellScope will endeavor to remove all Registration Information and other Personal Information other than Self-Reported Information from the Aggregated Data sufficient to minimize the possibility of exposing individual-level information while still providing evidence for scientific research purposes).

"Image Data" means any images or videos captured using Services or Products provided by CellScope.

"Self-Reported Information" means all information that User enters into surveys, forms, or features while signed in to CellScope accounts including, but not limited to, health information, disease conditions, treatment information, healthcare provider identification, other health-related information, personal traits, ethnicity, family history, and other information. Self-Reported Information is subject to Research only if User consents as described in the applicable Consent Document.

In that case, User acknowledges and agrees that CellScope will treat any use of the Services or Products as acceptance of the TOS from that point onwards. In addition, when using particular CellScope Services or Products, User is subject to any guidelines or rules applicable to such services that may be posted from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. CellScope also may offer other services from time to time that are governed by different terms of service.

Prerequisites

Description of the Services or Products

The Services or Products provided by CellScope include access to the CellScope public website and associated services, including the collection and analysis of User’s ear video or skin video or image. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, each new feature that augments or enhances the current Services or Products shall be subject to the TOS. Third Party Service or Services, and Third Party Use or Uses, while not provided by CellScope, may or may not involve third party consulting or medical services provided by a physician or other healthcare provider, using Internet or telemedicine or other electronic communication.

Users acknowledge and agree that the Services or Products are provided "AS-IS" and are based on the current technology in use by CellScope at the time of the purchase or viewing. As research progresses and scientific knowledge and technology evolve, CellScope is constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible experience for its Users. User acknowledges and agrees that the form and nature of the Services or Products provided by CellScope may change without prior notice. As part of this continuing innovation, User acknowledges and agrees that CellScope may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing some Services or Products (or any features within the Services or Products) to Users generally at CellScope's sole discretion, without prior notice. User may stop using the Services or Products at any time. User does not need to specifically inform CellScope when he or she stops using the Services or Products unless requesting closure of an account. CellScope assumes no responsibility for the use of Services or Products outside the terms of this TOS or other applicable terms.

In order to use the Services or Products, User must obtain Internet access, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. User is solely responsible for paying such fees. If User uses Services or Products provided by CellScope on a cellular network (rather than via Wi-Fi), standard data rates or roaming may apply, according to the wireless plan. CellScope is not responsible for any device connection, data transmission charges, or roaming charges incurred when Services and Products are used.

In addition, User must provide all equipment necessary to make such Internet connection, including a computer and modem or other access device. User is solely responsible for providing such equipment. User acknowledges and agrees that while CellScope may not currently have set a fixed upper limit on the number of transmissions that can be sent or received through the Services or Products or on the amount of storage space used for the provision of any Service/Products, such fixed upper limits may be set by CellScope at any time, at CellScope's sole discretion.

Risks and Considerations Regarding Services or Products

User should not change his or her health behaviors solely on the basis of information from CellScope. The information from CellScope does not replace or substitute consultation or treatment with a physician or other trained healthcare provider, or any Third Party Service. Make sure to seek the advice of a physician or other trained healthcare provider regarding the information generated by Services and Products provided by CellScope, and to discuss videos and images with a physician or other trained healthcare provider before acting upon the information resulting from Services or Products provided by CellScope. User should contact a physician or other trained healthcare provider with any questions or concerns about the information generated by Services or Products provided by CellScope.

Services or Products are for research, informational, and educational use only. CellScope does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.The Information provided by CellScope is for research, informational, and educational use only. This means two things: (1) Any information provided that is based on images or videos captured with any CellScope Product have not been clinically validated, and the technology used to date has not been widely used for clinical testing; and (2) The Services or Products are not intended to be used as a substitute for professional medical advice. Users should always seek the advice of a physician or other trained healthcare provider with any questions regarding diagnosis, cure, treatment, mitigation, or prevention of any disease or other medical condition or impairment or the status of User’s health.

CellScope is not a healthcare provider, and does not diagnose any condition, recommend or endorse any specific courses of action, resources, tests, physicians or other healthcare providers, drugs, biologics, medical devices or other products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on the CellScope website. As explained on the CellScope website, CellScope believes that (1) visual representations of the ear canal and tympanic membrane and/or any other body part are only part of the picture of any individual's state of being; and (2) only a trained physician or other healthcare provider can assess User’s current state of health or disease, taking into account many factors, including in some cases, images and videos taken with a CellScope Product, as well as User’s current symptoms, if any. Reliance on any information provided by Services or Products provided by CellScope, CellScope employees, others appearing on the CellScope website at the invitation of CellScope, or other visitors to the CellScope website is solely at User’s own risk.

CellScope is licensed by the State of California’s Food and Drug Board as a Medical Device Manufacturer of Class 1 Medical Devices. Therefore, CellScope is not universally licensed by all state, federal, or international authorities. In addition, there are certain jurisdictions in which CellScope does not offer our Services or Products since it does not have the required licenses.

User should not share any sensitive health information when communicating with CellScope’s support and customer service team. Health information should be shared with User’s medical provider, an appropriate healthcare professional, or directly with CellScope via our secure app and server. The designated support and customer service teams are not healthcare professionals and cannot offer medical advice.

User acknowledges and agrees that CellScope shall not be liable to User or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services or Products.

The Software that User uses may automatically download and install updates from CellScope.

User agrees to receive such updates (and permit CellScope to deliver them) as part of User’s use of the Services or Products.

User acknowledges that CellScope may offer different or additional technologies or features to collect and/or interpret image data in the future, and that User’s initial purchase of the Services or Products does not entitle User to any different or additional technologies or features for collection or interpretation of Image Data without fee, and that User will have to pay additional fees in order to have Image Data processed, and/or interpreted using any future or additional technologies or features.

Termination

The TOS will continue to apply until terminated by either User or CellScope, as set out in this Section.

To terminate a legal agreement with CellScope, User may do so by notifying CellScope at any time in writing, which will entail closing User’s accounts for all of the Services or Products used by User. The notice should be sent, in writing, to CellScope's address, which is set out at the beginning of the TOS, or online via the Contact Form. If notice is provided online, CellScope will send User an email asking that User to confirm the request to close an account, and User’s notice will be effective following receipt of a second email confirmation from User.

CellScope may at any time, terminate its legal agreement with User (and in conjunction therewith, User’s password and account(s)) if: (1) User has breached any provision of the TOS (or have acted in manner which shows that User does not intend to, or are unable to comply with, the provisions of the TOS); (2) CellScope is required to do so by law (for example, where the provision of the Services or Products is, or becomes, unlawful); (3) the partner with whom CellScope offered the Services or Products has terminated its relationship with CellScope or ceased to offer the Services or Products to User; (4) CellScope decides to stop providing the Services or Products to Users in the country or state in which User resides or from which User uses the Services or Products; or (5) the provision of the Services or Products to User by CellScope is, in CellScope's opinion, no longer commercially viable.

Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of User’s use of the Services or Products may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. User acknowledges and agrees that CellScope shall not be liable to User or to any third party for any termination of User’s access to the Services or Products, regardless of the reason for termination.

Survival of Terms

User agrees that he or she shall not remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary rights notices (including copyright and trademark notices) that may be affixed to or contained within the Services or Products.

Unless User has been expressly authorized to do so in writing by CellScope, User agrees that in using the Services or Products, User will not use any trade mark, service mark, trade name, logo of any company, or organization in a way that is likely or intended to cause confusion about the owner or authorized user of such marks, names, or logos.

For any Software not accompanied by a License Agreement, CellScope grants User a personal, non-transferable, and non-exclusive right and license to use the object code of its Software on a single computer. User may not (and may not allow any third party to) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, reverse assemble, or otherwise attempt to discover any source code, sell, assign, sublicense, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any right in the Software unless this is expressly permitted or required by law, or unless User has been specifically granted authority to do so, in writing.

Unless CellScope has given User specific permission in writing to do so, User may not assign (or grant a sublicense of) User’s rights to use the Software, grant a security interest in or over User’s rights to use the Software, or otherwise transfer any part of User’s rights to use the Software. User agrees not to modify the Software in any manner or form, or to use modified versions of the Software, including (without limitation) for the purpose of obtaining unauthorized access to the Services or Products.

Miscellaneous

Entire Agreement. The TOS constitute the entire agreement between User and CellScope and govern User’s use of the Services or Products, superseding any prior agreements between User and CellScope on this subject. User also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply upon the use of affiliate services, third-party content, or third-party software.

Applicable law and arbitration. Except for any disputes relating to intellectual property rights, obligations, or any infringement claims, any disputes with CellScope arising out of or relating to the Agreement ("Disputes") shall be governed by California law regardless of User’s country of origin or where User accesses CellScope, and notwithstanding of any conflicts of law principles and the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods. Any Disputes shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration under the rules and auspices of the American Arbitration Association, to be held in San Francisco, California, in English, with a written decision stating legal reasoning issued by the arbitrator(s) at either party's request, and with arbitration costs and reasonable documented attorneys' costs of both parties to be borne by the party that ultimately loses. Either party may obtain injunctive relief (preliminary or permanent) and orders to compel arbitration or enforce arbitral awards in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Waiver. The failure of CellScope to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect.

Term for cause of action. User agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or Products or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

Section titles. The section titles in the TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

Severability Clause. If any portion of these TOS is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portion will remain in full force and effect.

Amendments. We reserve the right to modify, supplement, or replace the terms of the Agreement, effective upon posting at www.cellscope.com or notifying User otherwise.
